MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. SKIN SENSITIZATION. MAY CAUSE CANCER. SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER INHALATION: THE THREE TYPES OF SILICOSIS INCLUDE: 1) SIMPLE CHRONIC SILICOSIS – WHICH RESULTS FROM LONGTERM EXPOSURE (MORE THAN 20 YEARS) TO LOW AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. NODULES OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND SCARRING PROVOKED BY THE RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA FORM IN THE LUNGS AND CHEST LYMPH NODES. THIS DISEASE MAY FEATURE BREATHLESSNESS AND MAY RESEMBLE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD); 2) ACCELERATED SILICOSIS – OCCURS AFTER EXPOSURE TO LARGER AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA OVER A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME (5-15 YEARS); 3) ACUTE SILICOSIS – RESULTS FROM SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. THE LUNGS BECOME VERY INFLAMED AND MAY FILL WITH FLUID, CAUSING SEVERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND LOW BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS. INFLAMMATION, SCARRING, AND SYMPTOMS PROGRESS FASTER IN ACCELERATED SILICOSIS THAN IN SIMPLE SILICOSIS. PROGRESSIVE MASSIVE FIBROSIS MAY OCCUR IN SIMPLE OR ACCELERATED SILICOSIS, BUT IS MORE COMMON IN THE ACCELERATED FORM. PROGRESSIVE MASSIVE FIBROSIS RESULTS FROM SEVERE SCARRING AND LEADS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF NORMAL LUNG STRUCTURES. SOME STUDIES SHOW THAT EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA (WITHOUT SILICOSIS) OR THAT THE DISEASE SILICOSIS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCREASED INCIDENCE OF SEVERAL AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS SUCH AS SCLERODERMA (THICKENING OF THE SKIN), SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND DISEASES AFFECTING THE KIDNEYS. SILICOSIS INCREASES THE RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS. SOME STUDIES SHOW AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER SKIN CONTACT: CEMENT MAY CAUSE DRY SKIN, DISCOMFORT, IRRITATION, SEVERE BURNS, AND DERMATITIS. EXPOSURE OF SUFFICIENT DURATION TO WET CEMENT, OR TO DRY CEMENT ON MOIST AREAS OF THE BODY, CAN CAUSE SERIOUS, POTENTIALLY IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO SKIN, EYE, RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACTS DUE TO CHEMICAL (CAUSTIC) BURNS, INCLUDING THIRD DEGREE BURNS. A SKIN EXPOSURE MAY BE HAZARDOUS EVEN IF THERE IS NO PAIN OR DISCOMFORT. CEMENT IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING DERMATITIS BY IRRITATION AND ALLERGY. SKIN AFFECTED BY DERMATITIS MAY INCLUDE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS, REDNESS, ITCHING, RASH, SCALING, AND CRACKING. IRRITANT DERMATITIS IS CAUSED BY THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CEMENT INCLUDING ALKALINITY AND ABRASION. ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS IS CAUSED BY SENSITIZATION TO HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM (CHROMATE) PRESENT IN CEMENT. THE REACTION CAN RANGE FROM A MILD RASH TO SEVERE SKIN ULCERS. PERSONS ALREADY SENSITIZED MAY REACT TO THE FIRST CONTACT WITH CEMENT. OTHERS MAY DEVELOP ALLERGIC DERMATITIS AFTER YEARS OF REPEATED CONTACT WITH CEMENT. SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER EYE CONTACT: AIRBORNE DUST MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED IRRITATION OR INFLAMMATION. EYE CONTACT WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF CLINKER DUST, DRY CEMENT POWDER OR WITH WET CEMENT CAN CAUSE MODERATE EYE IRRITATION, CHEMICAL BURNS AND BLINDNESS. EYE EXPOSURES REQUIRE IMMEDIATE FIRST AID AND MEDICAL ATTENTION TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE EYE. SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER INGESTION: MAY CAUSE BURNS OR IRRITATION OF THE LININGS OF THE MOUTH, THROAT, AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. CHRONIC SYMPTOMS: MAY CAUSE CANCER. 4.3. INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED IF EXPOSED OR CONCERNED, GET MEDICAL ADVICE AND ATTENTION. IF MEDICAL ADVICE IS NEEDED, HAVE PRODUCT CONTAINER OR LABEL AT HAND. SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DO NOT USE A HEAVY WATER STREAM. USE OF HEAVY STREAM OF WATER MAY SPREAD FIRE. 5.2. SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE FIRE HAZARD: PRODUCT IS NOT FLAMMABLE. EXPLOSION HAZARD: PRODUCT IS NOT EXPLOSIVE. REACTIVITY: WET CEMENT IS ALKALINE AND IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ACIDS, AMMONIUM SALTS AND ALUMINUM METAL. CEMENT DISSOLVES IN HYDROFLUORIC ACID, PRODUCING CORROSIVE SILICON TETRAFLUORIDE GAS. CEMENT REACTS WITH WATER TO FORM SILICATES AND CALCIUM HYDROXIDE. SILICATES REACT WITH POWERFUL OXIDIZERS SUCH AS FLUO RINE, BORON TRIFLUORIDE, CHLORINE TRIFLUORIDE, MANGANESE TRIFLUORIDE, AND OXYGEN DIFLUORIDE. 5.3. ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FIRE: EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN FIGHTING ANY CHEMICAL FIRE. FIREFIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: USE WATER SPRAY OR FOG FOR COOLING EXPOSED CONTAINERS. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. DO NOT APPLY WATER STREAM DIRECTLY AT SOURCE OF LEAK. PROTECTION DURING FIREFIGHTING: DO NOT ENTER FIRE AREA WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING RESPIRATORY PROTECTION. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: NONE. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES GENERAL MEASURES: DO NOT GET IN EYES, ON SKIN, OR ON CLOTHING. DO NOT BREATHE DUST. DO NOT HANDLE UNTIL ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD. 6.1.1. FOR NON-EMERGENCY PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE). EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: EVACUATE UNNECESSARY PERSONNEL. 6.1.2. FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: EQUIP CLEANUP CREW WITH PROPER PROTECTION. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: UPON ARRIVAL AT THE SCENE, A FIRST RESPONDER IS EXPECTED TO RECOGNIZE THE PRESENCE OF DANGEROUS GOODS, PROTECT ONESELF AND THE PUBLIC, SECURE THE AREA, AND CALL FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF TRAINED PERSONNEL AS SOON AS CONDITIONS PERMIT. 6.2. ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS PREVENT ENTRY TO SEWERS AND PUBLIC WATERS. 6.3. METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP FOR CONTAINMENT: AS AN IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, ISOLATE SPILL OR LEAK AREA IN ALL DIRECTIONS. CONTAIN SOLID SPILLS WITH APPROPRIATE BARRIERS AND PREVENT MIGRATION AND ENTRY INTO SEWERS OR STREAMS. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: THE THREE TYPES OF SILICOSIS INCLUDE: 1) SIMPLE CHRONIC SILICOSIS – WHICH RESULTS FROM LONGTERM EXPOSURE (MORE THAN 20 YEARS) TO LOW AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. NODULES OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND SCARRING PROVOKED BY THE RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA FORM IN THE LUNGS AND CHEST LYMPH NODES. THIS DISEASE MAY FEATURE BREATHLESSNESS AND MAY RESEMBLE CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD); 2) ACCELERATED SILICOSIS – OCCURS AFTER EXPOSURE TO LARGER AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA OVER A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME (5-15 YEARS); 3) ACUTE SILICOSIS – RESULTS FROM SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. THE LUNGS BECOME VERY INFLAMED AND MAY FILL WITH FLUID, CAUSING SEVERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND LOW BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS. INFLAMMATION, SCARRING, AND SYMPTOMS PROGRESS FASTER IN ACCELERATED SILICOSIS THAN IN SIMPLE SILICOSIS. PROGRESSIVE MASSIVE FIBROSIS MAY OCCUR IN SIMPLE OR ACCELERATED SILICOSIS, BUT IS MORE COMMON IN THE ACCELERATED FORM. PROGRESSIVE MASSIVE FIBROSIS RESULTS FROM SEVERE SCARRING AND LEADS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF NORMAL LUNG STRUCTURES. SOME STUDIES SHOW THAT EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA (WITHOUT SILICOSIS) OR THAT THE DISEASE SILICOSIS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCREASED INCIDENCE OF SEVERAL AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS SUCH AS SCLERODERMA (THICKENING OF THE SKIN), SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND DISEASES AFFECTING THE KIDNEYS. SILICOSIS INCREASES THE RISK OF TUBERCULOSIS. SOME STUDIES SHOW AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA. 6.4. REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS SEE SECTION 8 FOR EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION AND SECTION 13 FOR DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING ADDITIONAL HAZARDS WHEN PROCESSED: KEEP BULK AND BAGGED CEMENT DRY UNTIL USED. STACK BAGGED MATERIAL IN A SECURE MANNER TO PREVENT FALL- ING. BAGGED CEMENT IS HEAVY AND POSES RISKS SUCH AS SPRAINS AND STRAINS TO THE BACK, ARMS, SHOULDERS AND LEGS DURING LIFTING AND MIXING. HANDLE WITH CARE AND USE APPROPRIATE CONTROL MEASURES. ENGULFMENT HAZARD. TO PREVENT BURIAL OR SUFFOCATION, DO NOT ENTER A CONFINED SPACE, SUCH AS A SILO, BIN, BULK TRUCK, OR OTHER STORAGE CONTAINER OR VESSEL THAT STORES OR CONTAINS CEMENT. CEMENT CAN BUILDUP OR ADHERE TO THE WALLS OF A CON- FINED SPACE. THE CEMENT CAN RELEASE, COLLAPSE OR FALL UNEXPECTEDLY. PROPERLY GROUND ALL PNEUMATIC CONVEY- ANCE SYSTEMS.
